What to Focus On

  • Separation of religion and state is necessary but not sufficient.
  • Inter-religious domination is domination by one religion over another.
  • Intra-religious domination is unfairness within a religion.
  • Secularism must challenge both forms.
  • Theocratic state means rule by a priestly order.
  • Not all non-theocratic states are secular.
  • Official religion is different from theocracy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
